To cI/ZZwr/om it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN FAsoHIAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State ofCalifornia,have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCooking-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved cooking-cabinet, the object of myinvention belo ing to provide a cabinet which shall contain means forcooking in small quantities, which cabinet can be closed up and willthen present the appearance `of a writing-desk or the like, thuspermitting the same to be used in the living-room of a single person orsmall family occupying only one ortwo rooms.

A further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of thischaracter which shall include an oven for; baking, a convenzo ientreceptacle for flour, and convenient means for mixing the bread, allarranged as to be unnoticeablewhen not in use.

A further'object of the invention is to prosection of the lower portionof the oven.

Referring to the drawings, it will be seen thatmy improved cabinetcomprises a back 1, ends 2, and a top 3. The ends 2 in their lowerportion are oblon g and suitably paneled, 4o while in their upperportion the front edges of said ends slope upward and backward, asshown, the better to simulate the appearance of a writing-cabinet.Between the lower portions oE the ends are ,provided a closet 4, a flourbin 5, and above them drawers 6. Through the endsof the cabinetintermediate between the upper and lower portion slide extension-boards7 which may be drawn out when 4desired to provide supports for articles5o used in cooking or for other purposes.

The drop-front 8 of the ripper portion ofthe serai No. 106,674. (Nomodel.)

cabinet is pivoted at its lower edge, as shown at 9, and swings downwardto obtain access to the cooking-chamber, being supported by hangers 10,pivoted at 1l to the drop-front, 55 the ends of said hangers beinghooked and passing over studs l2, secured on the ends of the cabinet.

13 represents the cooking-chamber, the rear and end surfaces of whichare tiled, as shown 6o at 14. lThe floor of the cooking-cabinet is alsotiled, as shown at 15, on each side of and in front of. the oven 16.Beneath the tiling is a layerof sheet metal 17, and beneath that again alayer of concrete 18. The gas is admitted from the back by a gas-pipe19, which divides into two branches 2O 2l, said branches entering thecooking-chamber at the back, one on each side of the oven, one branch`20 going to a burner 22 and the other brauch 2l` 7o dividing, one partgoing to aburner 23 at the other end of the cooking-chamber .and theother part entering the oven at the side and passing around the sidesand rear of the oven. `Valves 2-l 25 26 control these pipes, 75respectively. The gas is burned in the oven by means of burners 27,which are directed downwardly onto the iioor of the oven, as shown indotted lines in Fig. 7. Said iioor is made of fire-clay or othernon-metallic in- 8o combustible material, as is likewise the main bodyofthe oven, said tire-clay being inclosed in a metallic casing 28. Theoven-door is pivoted at one side, as shown at 30, and has an opening 31to admit air to supply the com- 85 busti on, which may be closed by ashutter32 The products of combustion escape through an opening 33 in thetop of the oven.

31 represents shelves supported between the sides of the oven and theends of the 9o cooking-chamber, upon which to rest cooking Vessels overthe gas-burners.

Theproducts of combustion pass oif through an opening 35 in the rear ofthe cookingchamber near the top thereof, which opening may be connected,if desired, by a pipe 36 with the chimney 37.

I claiml. As an article of manufacture, the cook-. ing-cabinetcomprising the top, the back, the roo ends, and the swinging front, alllined with incombustible material, the oven xedly secured in saidcooking-chamber, spaced at the side and top from the side and top ofsaid cooking-chamber, a gas-pipe entering said cooking-chamber, andhavinga branch entering said oven, and having burners xedly secured insaid cooking-chamber and oven respectively, the burners of said latterpipe being directed'downward upon the floor of the oven, substantiallyas described.
